Hi All,
How do I separate hulls from the beams on a Hobie 17?
How much efforts, don't want to damage anything...
Ideas, photos, manuals etc. are very welcome.

Thanks!
Goal is to check for any cracks and structural problems.
I've seen the attached manual, but is it really just one socket set screw + anchor bar per side and beam?

I've owned a h16 and h18 but never a 17 ... i will leave it for actual owners to comment...
and i couldn't see clearly in that manual .. worst images ever (was it illustrated with stone and chisel?)
Some General Tips:
I would use penetrating oil ahead to assist of release
if the bolts squeak - stop don't heat em up - go slow
use a product on your bolts before you reassemble - i swear by Tef-Gel

Agree, hard to tell from the pictures. But OK, I understand how it's set up.
